Aethelgard – 56 colonists, 620 days (10 years), custom 300x300 map (Timelapse)
(media.rimworld.gallery)
My biggest colony so far. I tried to move away from the usual square/boxy layouts and instead build more organically, almost like a city builder. The idea was to let the colony grow naturally over time rather than planning everything in a grid from the start.
The map itself was pretty challenging to work with since it’s split by multiple rivers, so a lot of the layout came down to adapting as I expanded. It definitely made planning harder, but also way more fun. Pretty happy with how it turned out in the end.

Thank you, I really appreciate it! Yeah, I used a mod that lets you replant special trees, including the anima tree. As for the stairs, they’re from Simple Stairs and they’re purely visual structure. So no movement penalty or anything.
